DAILY PRAYERS & NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER, AMIDST COVID-19
On Tuesday 17 March the NCCA sent a letter to Australian Church Leaders inviting us into an opportunity to unite in prayer amidst rising rates of COVID-19 infection. We encourage all our Christian brothers, sisters and friends to take up this offer.
REGARDING THE CORONAVIRUS
I imagine you are also trying to keep life as normal as possible, while adjusting to evolving news about the Coronavirus.
Our Churches are sending information regularly to members. The Media is full of advice and stories.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
These are unprecedented times, as we know. The more leadership we offer together and are seen to offer together, so much the better!
A World of hope, care and wonder
Words of comfort and wisdom from our international family.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3
Reflecting on our shared humanity
Covid-19, like the refugee crisis, is a global problem. It requires a global solution. No one chose to create it. No one chose to be infected by it. But we all have a choice in how we respond.
What if you became a coronavirus refugee?
